Handel / Sangiovanni

9 Suites

The keyboard suites by Handel never gained the same popularity as the suites by Bach (French, Suites, English Suites, Partitas) or the sonatas by his Italian contemporary Domenico Scarlatti. Yes they are very attractive works, Handelian in the synthesis of South German and Italian keyboard characteristics within a very strict French style and structure. Though never obviously virtuosic they are certainly challenging for the performer and the musical content is definitively that of the Handel of the great

oratorios, operas and orchestral music: bold, dramatic and festive or affectionate. The young Italian pianist Scipione Sangiovianni plays the suites on a modern grand piano, in a stylish, natural and utterly musical way, never trying to imitate the harpsichord but letting the music speak for itself. Scipione Sangiovanni is winner of several international piano competitions, among which is the Debut International Piano Competition of New York.
